The Macallan 12 Year Old Double Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Single Malt Scotch Whisky | Aged 12 Years | 750mL | 43% ABV | 86 Proof | Scotland | Natural Color

Process & Profile

The Macallan Double Cask 12 Years Old brings together whisky matured in sherry-seasoned American and European oak casks. The two oak types contribute complementary characters: American oak brings a sweeter, vanilla-led side, while European oak supplies a deeper dried-fruit and spice influence. Twelve years of maturation gives those elements time to develop before they are brought together.

The casks are seasoned with sherry in Jerez, Spain, connecting the whisky's maturation to the oak and wine that shape its flavor. Double Cask refers to the use of the two oak types; it does not describe a blend of two distilleries. The result is a single malt with a rounded balance of fruit, sweetness and oak spice, and its color comes naturally from the casks.

This listing is the US 750mL bottling at 43% ABV / 86 proof. Its profile suits a slow neat pour, where the citrus and toffee notes can be followed into the drier oak finish.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Fudge, candied orange and lemon introduce the aroma, with vanilla and soft spice building behind the citrus. The impression is sweet and rounded with a clear oak influence.

Palate: Milk chocolate, raisins and creamy toffee bring richness, while orange peel and gentle spice add contrast. The fruit and oak remain integrated through the sip.

Finish: A medium finish carries sweet oak and spice as the richer toffee and fruit notes gradually recede.

What Makes It Special

  • Matured for twelve years in sherry-seasoned oak.
  • Combines American and European oak cask influence.
  • Single malt Scotch whisky from The Macallan.
  • Natural color derived from maturation.
  • US 750mL bottle at 43% ABV / 86 proof.

How to Enjoy

Taste neat in a tulip-shaped whisky glass to explore the citrus, toffee and oak. Add a little water if you prefer a gentler strength, then return to the aroma to see which fruit and spice notes become clearer.

A large ice cube offers a cooler, gradually diluted pour. For a food pairing, try a small piece of milk chocolate or a simple dessert with orange; keep the portion modest so the whisky's oak and spice remain distinct.
